General counsel Salle Yoo told employees that the company is "looking forward" in its search for CEO — an apparent attempt to quiet rumors that Kalanick will stage a comeback, BuzzFeed News reported.
Uber did not immediately return Business Insider's request for comment.
Kalanick has been angling to return to Uber, a plan he has referred to as "Steve Jobs-ing it," according to a report in Recode earlier this week. Jobs, the legendary cofounder of Apple, returned to the company after being fired in 1985.
